Um. Mike, are you saying that in LJ2 decimal separator is dependent on locale?

Sorry, but this is horrible! In Lua 5.0 this was a huge PITA (at least
for me). Changing C locale before loading Lua code and reverting it
back after all files are loaded? And what if I need to load Lua code
along the way?
